+Messages (messages)
+===================
+
+Post Message
+============
+
+.. rest_method:: POST /v2/queues/{queue_name}/messages
+
+Posts the message or messages for the specified queue.
+
+This operation posts the specified message or messages.
+
+You can submit up to 10 messages in a single request, but you must always
+encapsulate the messages in a collection container (an array in JSON, even
+for a single message - without the JSON array, you receive the "Invalid request
+body" message). The resulting value of the Location header or response body
+might be used to retrieve the created messages for further processing.
+
+The client specifies only the body and TTL for the message. The server inserts
+metadata, such as ID and age.
+
+The response body contains a list of resource paths that correspond to each
+message submitted in the request, in the order of the messages. If a
+server-side error occurs during the processing of the submitted messages, a
+partial list is returned, the partial attribute is set to true, and the client
+tries to post the remaining messages again. If the server cannot enqueue any
+messages, the server returns a ``503 Service Unavailable`` error message.
+
+The ``body`` attribute specifies an arbitrary document that constitutes the
+body of the message being sent.
+
+.The following rules apply for the maximum size:
+
+The maximum size of posted messages is the maximum size of the entire request
+document (rather than the sum of the individual message body field values as
+it was in earlier releases). On error, the client will now be notified of how
+much it exceeded the limit.
+
+The size is limited to 256 KB, including whitespace.
+
+The document must be valid JSON. (The Message Queuing service validates it.)
+
+The ``ttl`` attribute specifies how long the server waits before marking the
+message as expired and removing it from the queue. The value of ``ttl`` must
+be between 60 and 1209600 seconds (14 days). Note that the server might not
+actually delete the message until its age has reached up to (ttl + 60) seconds,
+to allow for flexibility in storage implementations.

+
+List Messages
+=============
+
+.. rest_method:: GET /v2/queues/{queue_name}/messages
+
+List the messages in the specified queue.
+
+A request to list messages when the queue is not found or when messages are
+not found returns 204, instead of 200, because there was no information to
+send back. Messages with malformed IDs or messages that are not found by ID
+are ignored.
+
+This operation gets the message or messages in the specified queue.
+
+Message IDs and markers are opaque strings. Clients should make no assumptions
+about their format or length. Furthermore, clients should assume that there is
+no relationship between markers and message IDs (that is, one cannot be derived
+from the other). This allows for a wide variety of storage driver
+implementations.
+
+Results are ordered by age, oldest message first.

+
+Get A Set Of Messages By Id
+===========================
+
+.. rest_method:: GET /v2/queues/{queue_name}/messages?ids={ids}
+
+Gets a specified set of messages from the specified queue.
+
+This operation provides a more efficient way to query multiple messages
+compared to using a series of individual ``GET`` s. Note that the list of IDs
+cannot exceed 20. If a malformed ID or a nonexistent message ID is provided,
+it is ignored, and the remaining messages are returned.
+
+Unlike the Get Messages operation, a client's own messages are always returned
+in this operation. If you use the ids parameter, the echo parameter is not used
+and is ignored if it is specified.
+
+The message attributes are defined as follows: ``href`` is an opaque relative
+URI that the client can use to uniquely identify a message resource and
+interact with it. ``ttl`` is the TTL that was set on the message when it was
+posted. The message expires after (ttl - age) seconds. ``age`` is the number
+of seconds relative to the server's clock. ``body`` is the arbitrary document
+that was submitted with the original request to post the message.
+
+

+
+Delete A Set Of Messages By Id
+==============================
+
+.. rest_method:: DELETE /v2/queues/{queue_name}/messages?ids={ids}
+
+Provides a bulk delete for messages.
+
+This operation immediately deletes the specified messages. If any of the
+message IDs are malformed or non-existent, they are ignored. The remaining
+valid messages IDs are deleted.
+
+
+
+Normal response codes: 204
+
+Error response codes:
+

+Request Parameters
+------------------
+
+.. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml
+
+  - queue_name: queue_name
+  - ids: ids
+  - pop: pop
+
+
+This operation does not accept a request body and does not return a response
+body.
+
+
+Get A Specific Message
+======================
+
+.. rest_method:: GET /v2/queues/{queue_name}/messages/{messageId}
+
+Gets the specified message from the specified queue.
+
+This operation gets the specified message from the specified queue.
+
+If either the message ID is malformed or nonexistent, no message is returned.
+
+Message fields are defined as follows: ``href`` is an opaque relative URI that
+the client can use to uniquely identify a message resource and interact with
+it. ``ttl`` is the TTL that was set on the message when it was posted. The
+message expires after (ttl - age) seconds. ``age`` is the number of seconds
+relative to the server's clock. ``body`` is the arbitrary document that was
+submitted with the original request to post the message.

+
+Error response codes:
+
+- BadRequest (400)
+- Unauthorized (401)
+- Not Found (404)
+- ServiceUnavailable (503)
+
+
+Request Parameters
+------------------
+
+.. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml
+
+  - queue_name: queue_name
+  - message_id: message_id
+
+Response Example
+----------------
+
+.. literalinclude:: samples/messages-get-response.json
+   :language: javascript
+
+
+Delete A Specific Message
+=========================
+
+.. rest_method:: DELETE /v2/queues/{queue_name}/messages/{messageId}
+
+Deletes the specified message from the specified queue.
+
+This operation immediately deletes the specified message.
+
+The ``claim_id`` parameter specifies that the message is deleted only if it
+has the specified claim ID and that claim has not expired. This specification
+is useful for ensuring only one worker processes any given message. When a
+worker's claim expires before it can delete a message that it has processed,
+the worker must roll back any actions it took based on that message because
+another worker can now claim and process the same message.
+
+If you do not specify ``claim_id``, but the message is claimed, the operation
+fails. You can only delete claimed messages by providing an appropriate
+``claim_id``.
+
+
+
+Normal response codes: 204
+
+Error response codes:
+
+- BadRequest (400)
+- Unauthorized (401)
+- Not Found (404)
+- ServiceUnavailable (503)

+
+.. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml

+body.
